Did anyone else hear Ox on the broadcast today?

'Dennis, would you give up Pick 2 for Sandilands?'

Dennis - 'Yep.'

Would the club? I wouldn't. The guy's a monster but doesn't do enough around the grounds.

Pick a youngster.

why waste such a valuable pick for a player that will be considering retirement when we start pushing for a premiership???

Plus a bloke of that size should really dominate in the ruck and up forward more than what Sandilands does. He is a hack. Jamar pretty much beats him every time Melbourne play Freo. Give me Trengove any day of the week over Fremantle's scraps.

i really like sandilands.. but i agree with demon disciple.. why waste the pick on an older player when we are building such a young team!!

Sh!t NO

what are you doing OX?

if we can keep the russian i think he has shown enough in the past 5 weeks to be confident in him to hold down the ruckman role

There's a very good reason Dennis Commetti is a Commentator and not a List Manager.

I'd prefer to have beaten Richmond.

I'll die if the prize for all the torture that was 2008 and 2009 is Aaron Sandilands.

James Strauss was just a bonus prize we picked up along the way to the big one. 1 and 2 was always the goal in my eyes. If we waste it on Sandilands then it was all for naught.

Yeah, I still understand what you are saying, and I agree.

But I think James Strauss will deserve a mention in this conversation come the end of his career.

No thanks, Rucks are not the priority just yet, we can rookie one.

No.

Too old for our window. Spencer, Jamar and Martin as back up the keys, draft a new young tall as a rookie also to develop.

I'm still thinking Pick2 (Trengove) to Port for Pick9 (next Ziebell? maybe Cunnington) and Boak. That gets us 3 gun midfielders with Scully.

Go Demons, a nice finish to the year apart from the junk 10 mins at the end, veyr competitive when it counted, and we got very little from retirees today, all youth. Morton is a gun! Can play mid and back, forward next.......oh and Jurrah!!!!

Bring on pre season training.

Not to mention Meeson...

Your got to be joking!

Pick 1 and 2 must be locked in for Scully and Trengove. The only way Sandilands will be a Demon is via a trade since he is contracted for next year. I wouldnt be interested if Jamar sticks around. He crashed the packs beautifully today and always dishes it up to Sandilands. Spencer has shown enough to persist with.

Pick 18 should be used for a KP and not traded away either. I would be happy if we stick with our current draft picks.

Short Answer: NO.

Long Answer: F*** NO.

What was the point of this thread when nobody has tried to back up the claim, not even the OP?

He will cost too much and he's too old so no. Scully is a lock but not so sure on Trengrove. ATM he's favourite but at draft camp it could be different. Morabito is taller, stronger and quicker than Trengrove. Morabito looks like the type that could do well at draft camp.

It's a slap to Jamar who has shown huge improvement and Meesen who showed something in some of his outings this year as well. I don't reckon our rucks are anywhere near as bad as many people believe. Certyainly not bad enough to give up pick 2. Surely ox was having a jest, FCS we are building a side not making a play for a premiership.

OMG, i never looked at it that way. If that were to be the outcome, i'd...........i don't know what i would do.

I think you'll find that one Sam Blease happened to be our PP selection from last year, Strauss was our 2nd round pick.

But again, the situation Nasher throws up mortifies me (it really does)

Posted

I really think Jamar is becoming a stronger and stronger tap ruckman.

And this week and last week showed us that he has some value around the ground. Twelve months ago, he had none.

I really do hope the rumours of him wanting to leave are rubbish.

Posted

I watched the replay before and I noticed a couple of interesting observations. They labelled DB as a potentially "great" coach, us being contenders within 2 to 3 years and pick #2.

I have to say, I totally disagree with Dennis, which is unusual, because usually I go with his every word. But there is no way I'd pick Sandilands with pick 2 and suspect Dennis wouldn't either. I think he was just playing up the situation.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
